Yes, and so what? I don’t consider that contract to have “burned” Treliving. The claim was that he “repeatedly” goes and gets old guys on big deals and gets burned “on the age curve”.
And I don’t think that’s happened even once. None of his signings that didn’t work out had anything to do with an age curve. And his last 3 UFA signings are not that bad. The worst is Kadri and he’s on his normal point pace. Just not fitting with his linemate well. Coleman is fine, Tanev is more than fine, Markstrom has had a terrible year (after a great one) which has nothing to do with his age.
